OG12 第114题

voleroiseau

The original building and loan associations were organized as limited life funds, whose members made monthly payments on their share subscriptions and then took turns drawing on the funds for home mortgages.

请问这句话应该怎么理解？take turn doing固定用法吗，什么意思呢

tonnyzhao

是固定用法，轮流做某事。

不过该题并不是在考查该固定搭配，具体解析可参考白勇语法上P21。

一般take turns to do sth 和take turns doing sth 有两种用法。要看强调主要是将要去做或者这件事情本身了，比如Beth and Amanda are taking turns riding（强调骑马这件事）.另如We take turns to answer the phone.（强调将要开始的动作）
